The post positions are set, and the field of 12 has two favorites that will take a bulk of the betting action for the third running of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream Park.
Accelerate and City of Light headline this year’s one-and-an-eighth-mile race in Hallandale, Florida. The $9 million purse is down from $16 million last year and $12 million in the inaugural Pegasus World Cup Invitational in 2017. But the race is still the richest in North America, and the purse is three times the size of the Kentucky Derby’s $3 million, which has been raised by $1 million for this year.
Post time for the Race 12 Pegasus World Cup Invitational is 5:40 p.m. ET Saturday. Race 11 is the $7 million Pegasus World Cup Turf. NBC carries the broadcast coverage.
